Computer Science, Associate in Science Transfer, Planning Guide

Program Overview

Computer Science is the study of techniques to represent, store and manipulate information within a computer information system. Computer programming is a major component of such study, and is the focus of most of the CS courses listed below. If you are thinking of pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science at a university, you should take CS 142  or CS 210  because success in these classes tends to be a good indicator of success in a computer science program. Consult the university’s catalog to determine which of the two courses best fits the requirements of that institution.

Sample Career Options Include:

Computer Programmers

Computer & Information Systems Managers

Network & Computer Systems Administrators
